I mean, jerkoffs of our generation were running around with rattails, bowl cuts, v-cuts, and unironic mullets when we were the same age. Gaffoty bangs are certainy better than that.

It's harder to get in the Christmas spirit each year, families have grown bigger, die, and separate. A lot of my favorite memories come from being a kid and going to both set of grandparents. They've been gone for years, my Dad has been gone 20 years, my Mom is a mess and lives in Nashville and my wife lost her Mom 10 years ago and her Dad remarried a nice lady but she has her own kids and grandkids and it's not the same. Try really hard to make it special for my kids so they have great memories but feel like they've gotten shortchanged compared to what I had growing up. Covid has had an effect on extended family getting together between those who don't care and those who are terrified of all interactions.

TBS has ruined "A Christmas Story". " It's A Wonderful Life" gets me misty eyed every time, even though I've seen it dozens of times.

Olivia Colman, I kinda get it. She was the foul mouthed police woman in Hot Fuzz. Time is taking it's toll a little but she looks like a new wave/alt girl from 1990 and it's 30 or so years later and I do get that. Ask her for a smoke and she offers a clove cigarette, talk about Throwing Muses or Cocteau Twins and you see where the evening goes.
 
My two-year-old is already obsessed with shoes. Not digging the foreshadowing here, but I guess a lot of that will end up one Anth’s boys’ problem anyway.
 
- My son has become about as bad. The feathered, floppy bangs have got to go, y'all. He spends up to 10-15 minutes wetting the front of his hair, scrubbing it dry with a towel, throwing in just the right amount of product while letting it fall into place. Then he gets pissed, slams some stuff around and starts over. It's hilarious.
Son's HS basketball coach has a hair policy and as a result, all of the players look like they came straight out of the 50's. He left a kid standing on the gym steps a couple years ago because he arrived to get on the bus with a fresh but inappropriate hair cut. On the one hand I don't have to fuss about bad hair but on the other hand my kid looks like my dad's school pics.
 
MIL bought an air hockey table as a "family" gift for Christmas. My FIL and her would buy each of their kids gifts individually then something for their house (think Freezer, storage, decorations, etc.) Since my FIL passed this summer, she said he would never let her get something like an air hockey table because he had a certain way the basement needed to be setup.

I've already started planning a pool table with old school hanging Bud heavy lamp and a small bar setup with some natty tatty pinups in a corner.

Gonna be a real blast, you guys.
 
When did the W4 turn into a gotdamn calculus exam?

I bet 70% of Americans couldn’t figure it out now.

That’s some horse hockey and I’m pretty sure he can’t do that, what is he running the Yankees? They’re kids, they’re going to have weird, silly haircuts, hell 60+ year old women have purple highlights these days.

Its a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies. I watch it every year on Christmas Eve.

"The Complete James Brown Christmas" has some great tunes on it. Very underrated.

Going fishing in the morning. Wading the creek in hopes a trout will stir.

Stoops been killing it so far this off season. Upgrading coaches, filling needs with the portal, and keeping our stars on the roster. Don't really care what happens in the bowl game, just glad we're in it.

I think this will be my 4th MCB that I've attended.

Getting cold next week for Christmas. I hope it snows too.

  • Y’all are sleeping on Christmas movie classic, “The Bells of St Mary’s”. Ingrid Bergman hottest nun ever.

  • Sally Field was a hot nun too. More cute than hot.
  • There are 6800 homeless people (bums) living on the streets of NYC. Someone counted. And didn’t scrape them off the sidewalk.
  • Big XMAS cooking this weekend on Saturday, missing game. Don’t care, sadly. We aint beating UCLA. I’m still pissed from the Seton Hall game at Garden.
  • Need Devin Leary.
  • Buying little man set of golf clubs for Christmas. LFG
 
As I inevitably inch closer to death, I like to play a game “how old was he compared to me now?” It involves seeing how old an actor is in relation to me now, and for whatever reason it really only seems to hit home with Christmas movies. I’m currently as old as Tim Allen was when he made the Santa Clause. I’m 2 years older than Chevy Chase when he made Christmas Vacation. For whatever reason I feel like I look much younger, which my wife kindly reminds me I don’t. I find this disappointing and depressing, and a great reminder of how fast life moves. I mean holy hell I’m older than f*cking Clark Griswald.
 
The correct answer is the OG “We’re No Angels”. Bogey, Aldo, & Sir Peter.

Was watching the first season of Cheers last night and literally did the same thing. I'm older now than all those dudes were then, even Cliff.

This morning around 6:30 a commercial interrupted The Loud House to introduce Mike f’ing Moustakas trying to sell Chevies. Clearly a commercial made at least three years ago.

My 7 year old asks me, hey dad, does Mike Moustakas still play for the Reds? I don’t remember him.

Me: Yes son, technically, but he has been on the DL. He is old, fat and injured.

My 7 year old: Well daddy, then you should play for the Reds too!

(UCL Laugh track)
 
My old man had offered “any friends I have” (which I presume to include internet friends) the option to go rabbit hunting in Bracken County Saturday. Let me know. His cousin’s dogs kind of suck (T, WCC), but it’s a fun time. Can drink like 37 Bud Heavies at least during downtime.

I cannot but have spent a good amount of time at your family’s river camp- my first frog gigging experience actually.

* If Bob Barker (Happy 99th, GOAT) doesn't make it to 100, that will be the most disappointing event in my daytime TV watching history. Like a contestant spinning a second time when already on a $0.95 spot.

* Not sure what was the bigger emotion (pissed or elated) than landing on 87 and going down to 24, or the 28 to 84 in Chutes and Ladders? Getting a 1 on your first time and going to 38 is underrated.

* "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" (ESPN's WSOP theme at the time) will always remind me of Thursday night poker at my place. Six of my buds coming over for 4-8 hours of Texas Hold 'em. We had two fishes that would never fold. With a monster hand you could drain $$ from those guys ALL night long. Easy money.

* Give me Mankind beating The Rock for the WWF/E World Title in 1999 as my low-key favorite "sports" moment. That crowd pop for Austin and then the pin brought goosebumps.

While we are talking about shows I have no idea I still watch, Survivor 43 was absolute shit. My video application is still with CBS (I guess). I'd throw so many subtle GYERO references if ever on cam. I might even name the tribe, "Wodie Crew" with permission.

* Company Christmas party this weekend. Have tons of people pumped and we have a crew meeting at the local pub at 5 to watch the first half. Going with a lady that is a lot older than me, but looks tremendous. Plan is for that same crew to meet back at said pub around 8:30 and close the town of Maysville down.

* Maybe Southern Miss (-7) and Minnesota Vikings (-4) are my locks for Saturday? Need one more for a 3-teamer. Cincinnati (-1)? Cards have to be in "who gives a shit" mode.

* Christmas song 10-team parlay

Andy Williams - "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
Booker T and The M Gs - "Jingle Bells"
Bing Crosby - "Do You Hear What I Hear"
Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
Carpenters - "Merry Christmas, Darling"
Charles Brown - "Please Come Home for Christmas"
Frank Sinatra - "Mistletoe & Holly"
Frank Sinatra - "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
Frank Sinatra - "The Christmas Waltz"
Johnny Mathis - "Silver Bells"

-I don't watch womens sports to begin with, but I do feel like womens volleyball is a sport both UK/UL should just have a truce with. I mean they all seem like nice young ladies and are clearly at the top of their sport. Do I really have to dogcuss them from my living room and pull for freaking Pittsburgh in this?

An actual healthy rivalry in at least one sport might be kind of civil of us hillbillies, I guess.
 
I, to my knowledge, have never had Covid.
Every time, since all this began, I had any kind of symptoms, I got tested. Every time: Negative, no Covid.

I am old & overweight. I work in registration at a hospital. We no longer require masks. I am as vulnerable as a person could be, but no Covid.

So who wants in on this super immune blood of mine? There are deals to be made. Don’t sleep on your chance!
 
-Happy Friday

Boy Wonder with 10 3’s last night. 🔥. Go Heat

-All these holiday song lists and no mention of Last Christmas by Wham!. Blasphemy

-We are going to have a cold Christmas here- low 60s and rain. About the best we can do.

-Feeling pretty juiced for this basketball game Sat, folks.

JQ Hardaway come on down. Get Leary here and LFG!

-So there are already bowl games tomorrow. Feels a bit too soon but might have to peep some of the UC/UL shit show.

Drove down through Ft Myers beach for the first time since Ian yesterday. Mercy ☹️

Friday 5
Soundgarden- Pretty Noose
Don Williams- I Believe in You
Van Halen - Little Guitars
Weezer- Hash Pipe
Bloodhound Gang- The Bad Touch
 
I didn't peg Terie as being into vampire play. That's not a fetish I share but it is much, much, much better than perving on that hag Olivia Colman.

* Hardaway and Cox look like fantastic pickups. I'd feel more comfortable if we added another cornerback and tackle, as well, especially tackle. Flax in particular is terrible and I worry that Goodwin is never going to live up to his recruiting rankings.

Kind of a weird coincidence that Cox suffered a season ending injury against us this season and has now decided to transfer here. That might be Vince Marrow's best recruiting job ever.

In football where projecting recruits is much harder than basketball, the transfer portal may turn out to be more valuable than high school recruiting. Why take a flyer on a lower ranked three star who may develop into a solid contributor or may wash out if you can get a guy who has proven he can produce at the college level? I love that we have had great success with transfers and it looks like it will continue with Leery, Ray Davis, etc.

* With Coen back, hopefully Tayvion Robinson returns for another year. He clearly hated Scangarello but maybe we can sell him on being the second great Robinson to play for Coen. A receiving corp of a super senior Robinson to go with sophomores Brown and Key is stout.

* The BBN's ambivalence toward a game at Pauley Pavillion against a top 15 UCLA squad in primetime on CBS is palpable. Weird times.

Friday work before Christmas week? Get TF outta here...
Had someone try to demand I schedule a face to face meeting with them this afternoon. LOL, nope.
